Versailles panels

In the late 17th century King Louis XIV of France replaced the marble tiles at his palace in Versailles with a new design of elegant timber panels. Laid throughout the palace's grand "Hall of Mirrors" this classic look came simply to be known as 'Versailles'. It has since then and to this day popularised geometric wooden flooring. We have reproduced, using both antique and aged timber, a range of these famous floors.

Our panels are manufactured by a traditional method, assembled by means of mortice and tenon joints and pegged. We do not use glue. We can provide our panels in sizes on demand, within the bounds of the design feasibility. False "tongues" necessary for laying are provided with every panel order. These can also be laid down with “navettes” that we can supply made to measure according to the size of the panels. 

Typical panel dimensions:   Thickness 1.5cm, 1.8cm, 2.0cm or 2.2cm

                                            Width 98cm (100cm for Octagonal panels)

                                            Length 98cm (100cm for Octagonal panels)
